#1 Re: Installation » MAC address changes every reboot » 2024-11-16 16:50:38
I could solve this problem as follows:
Create the a new udev rule:
-- Add a new file /etc/udev/rules.d/75-static-mac
-- write
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", RUN+="/usr/bin/iplink set dev %k address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX"
into the new file.
-- Replace XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX with your current mac address

#3 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] Fixing broken Brother DCP-L3510CDW Printer Installation (howto) » 2023-02-04 09:53:16
Great & interesting, thanks for sharing.
We have a pool of 6 Brother DCPJ525W, all running as networkprinters via a Devuan print server. This works well with the Brother Linux drivers, however our printers are getting old and I am just looking for the next Brother generation.
Sleep well, you*ve earned it.

Thank you. Is it possible to show me a download link here, as I am not active in Matrix.

Yes, I boot from u-boot.
#6 Re: ARM Builds » PeppermintOS Devuan arm64 possible testing. » 2023-01-22 17:12:04
Is it worth trying Peppermint on a BananaPi M5?
#7 Re: DIY » A Survey of User-made Content » 2023-01-11 08:59:26
Believe it or not, but for my daily drivers, my printservers, camservers and NFS-servers there is nothing I'm missing. I use Chimaera ans 2 Daedalus installations and everything I need is in the repositories. It was never necessary to compile a program from source. So I'm quite happy with Devuan. Maybe I'm unpretentious, but thats my situation.

#9 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Slim not showing on my main screen, laptop's own screen is broken » 2022-10-29 20:50:55
At first I had to enter name and password blind, then the screen was switched to the corresponding output. Then I enabled in slim.conf the sessionstart_cmd with the name of an executable script file, where the same xrandr commands are called. Worked fine on my old Thinkpad.
#10 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Slim not showing on my main screen, laptop's own screen is broken » 2022-10-29 06:58:50
Probably calling xrandr in your .xsession or .xinitrc may help.
Here my example on an older Thinkpad T410S:
xrandr --output VGA-1 --primary
xrandr --output LVDS-1 --offBut before simply call xrandr without any parameters, to figure out what the names for your outputs is. In above example VGA-1 is the external monitor and LVDS-1 the laptops own screen.

If you have once installed Gnome, you will have it forever. Whatever you will do beside Gnome - Gnome is already there. Scary!
Remove it as long you will be ablte to do. :-)

#12 Re: Off-topic » Loss of a friend » 2022-03-08 08:42:54
So sad to loose a good friend!
In January I lost Yellow, a Samojede mix from Romania. He was not my dog, but I visited Yello every day and we made long walks together. In the beginning Yellow was a problematic dog and his owner, a middleaged Lady, had diffculties to hande the dog.
After some years however Yellow was one of the best dogs in town. I miss Yellow and I understand zephyr.
Still sad, Berni

Does it mean hat the rpc.mountd was not started due to the unknown option?
#14 Re: Off-topic » The seitan conundrum » 2022-02-17 15:14:45
Nice thread, and it reminds me to my macrobiotical start in the early 70s. Firstly I was a hardcore macrobiotic man, later I was more softly. However some food from this period accompanies me till today. It was one of the best choices in my life and the Oshawa cookbook has, beside others, still on its place on my shelf.
#15 Re: Installation » xorg start only as super user! why? » 2022-01-08 09:55:25
Sorry, but I talked about OpenBSD.
#16 Re: Installation » xorg start only as super user! why? » 2022-01-07 22:13:57
OpenBSD can also run startx as the normal user. But xenodm(1) is recommended for that operating system.
No, the normal user without root privileges cannot start X via startx - not ex works. This has changed in 6.6 or 6.7 already. SO a dm is a MUST quasi.
#17 Re: Installation » xorg start only as super user! why? » 2022-01-07 14:22:12
You are right, off course! I had OpenBSD in my mind, where the setuid bit was removed from the X server some years ago. 
#18 Re: Installation » xorg start only as super user! why? » 2022-01-07 08:34:59
startx need root permissions to start X. If you do not want to use ugly tricks, you must let do the display manager the job. Try it by starting, lets say slim or xdm, and the it must work.

OK, this is NOT a serious question - however: Is there already a color for the corporate identity of Daedalus selected by the veterans? What will come after Gray, Red and Blue?

#23 Re: Other Issues » pxe boot hangs in busybox » 2021-12-14 11:26:06
Thanks @FM81. The last line in the log is the very last cry from dnsmasq:When I exit the busybox I get a warning that the /root could not be mounted. The next exit causes a kernel dump and that killed dnsmasq.
All output was logged into /var/log/dnsmasq.log. The client screen shows that the kernel is loaded and then initram.img, which ended in the busybox because the /root could not be mounted.

I tried to realize a diskless client (Intel NUC). The NUC shall pxe boot chimaera_4.0.0._amd64-desktop-live.iso or chimaera-4-0-0_amd64_minimal-live.iso.
As the dnsmaq- and tftp server I selected a raspberrypi 4 with 8 GB of RAM.
So I installed dnsmasq, pxelinux and syslinux-efi and followed these instructions: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-configur … oot-server. On the Pi also Devuan Chimaera is running.
Then the first boot of the NUC machine. I saw my menu with the 3 entries (desktop-live & minimal-live), I could select an entry and the the boot procedure startet. It looked like a normal Devuan start, but when the system detected the usb ports with keyboard and mouse, it hangs and I ended up in the initramfs busybox.
This happens with desktop-live as well as with minimal-live. The logfile on the Pi said:
